He remembered the words of some past friends. Malaclypse often told him to "keep things in perspective" while former Premier Alvin Katz reminded him on many an occasion when Doc came to anger that he was a man of peace.

In a time when diplomacy had become more of the shotgun variety and houses were as pushy and demanding as ever, not caring about those caught in the middle, the very thought of one person, even if she was a Rogue, was thinking of his interests as well as her own.
He finally turned back to her smiling. He was again speechless as he admired her a bit. He simply said to her, "Thank you. I needed that."
